We attended a private dinner party last evening. The atmosphere was charming with a bit of old world charm. The private room was large enough to feel comfortable and move about talking with the large group. Since it was a private event, we had a set menu to select. I started with the Cesar salad. The ravioli was good but the corn filling cream sauce was what made the dish absolutely delicious. I tried my husband's mushroom pasta and it was incredible. Comfort food at its finest. I could not get enough of the Trout. It was crispy on the bottom and full of flavor. It was prepared perfectly. The accompanying veggies were light and lovely. The service was top notch. Our waiter served the meal and made it seem effortless. We know it was his expertise that made it seem effortless. It was perfectly executed!

The food was great! Service was fantastic. I was really grateful that we were offered a private room for our group due to predicted rain. But we actually got really lucky that it didn't rain that nice and still get to enjoy our team bonding dinner in the private room. The only downside for me is that they were allowing other guests to come in and out of our private room to use the restroom which I thought was a little strange. We weren't notified about that little detail. But the overall experience was great. The wine recommendation was good. Parking was not as bad especially since we can use the Spruce valet too across the street

Quaint Italian restaurant tucked away in an alley in the Presidio, a literal hidden gem. The outdoor and indoor areas are cute, cozy, and intimate. Staff are all very welcome and accommodating.All dishes we ordered that night were truly delicious. Flavorful appetizers and sides, tender fish and al dente pasta for mains. Both desserts were amazing as well. The blood orange panna cotta had such an intense refreshing orange flavor and perfectly complemented the rich chocolate oblivion cake. Highly recommend Sociale!

We came here for my aunt's birthday and the service and ambiance here were wonderful! Our waitress Veronica walked us through the menu, and also brought out my aunt's dessert with a candle.The food was underwhelming. My rigatoni was weirdly chewy (not that it wasn't cooked through, but as if the pasta dough was too thick). My cousin had the linguine with clams and didn't care for it. We enjoyed the caprese salad, but did not like the watermelon sorbet. The bread was delicious though!Overall, I don't think I'll be back because of the food, but it was a very cute place and the staff members were great.

Sociale has always been my favorite restaurant, it's where we go for my birthday and where we went to celebrate our engagement. We love the ambiance of the heated patio and that we can bring our dog along with us. I was diagnosed celiac back in September and it's been really heartbreaking not being able to eat the things I used to love and having a hard time at restaurants. Sociale was wonderful. Our waiter was immediately knowledgeable when I told him I had celiac and assured me my food would be safe. He even brought me a small cup of soup because I couldn't enjoy the bread, which was so so kind. I really miss bread and it made me feel less left out. I had an amazing meal of mushroom risotto and I didn't have any issues after so my food was safely handled. I can't express how appreciative I am that I can still enjoy my favorite restaurant. Only complaint - please bring back the blood orange panna cotta!!!!

We ate here for belated Valentine's day and I am still thinking about that Chocolate Oblivion cake. It was absolutely delicious!Service was amazing and very conversational which was nice. Ambiance is cute and it's tucked away that it feels private.The food itself is tasty and they kind of have a "half" theme going for them where they offer half bottles of wine and you can do half and half pasta! The portions are not that big which seems to be a negative for others but personally we are not fans of being overstuffed and full so this was quite perfect for us. We will be returning!

Sociale is a hidden gem nestle in a secret entryway that one will mostly pass by if you are not in the know. It's kind of that European vibe. Understated. Good food and wine. Intimate. Used to come here with friends, but now we come by only on special occasions. Oh, almost forgot to mention, I love their panna cotta.

Sociale Had the pleasure of coming here for a medical dinner and preset menu. I started off with the Burrata: Watermelon, lemon on zest, and Chile flake. Moved on to (my personal favorite) the Seared Scallops: braised corn, seared figs, and smoked sea salt. Then chose the Steelhead Trout: Blue Lake & Yellow wax beans, green olive & caper tapenade as my entree. And ended with the Blood Orange Panna Cotta with Candied kumquats. This was such a cute dinner place. Hidden behind an alley of stores, you stumble upon a nice Italian restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating. The food was amazing and service was great, so I'll definitely be back in the near future!

I stumbled upon this hidden gem with my friend when we were looking for a place to eat around the neighborhood. This place popped up on yelp with good reviews, and less than a mile away so we decided to give it a try! The entrance is very discreet - you have to walk down a short alleyway before you reach the courtyard of the restaurant, and then the actual indoor area is in the back. It wasn't a warm night, but the courtyard was so enclosed and so cute with heat lamps and string lights that we definitely opted to sit outside. We had such a good experience with both the food and the service that I took my mom back here for her birthday.We started out at the bar and ordered a half bottle of wine, and the sommelier made some really great suggestions, in addition to letting us taste some great wines. We then moved over to our table in the courtyard and got another half bottle of something he had suggested.For food, I ordered the same thing both times I've been here (the Cavatelli Bolognese). The pasta itself was unique and the PERFECT consistency, and the bolognese tasted very homemade. I will probably get this again when I come back hehe. 10/10.My mom got the Mushroom Bolognese with paperdelle, and while the noodles were good, the sauce itself was a little too sour. She was less impressed with her dish and preferred the Cavatelli. 6/10.To start, we got the crudo and a side of brussel sprouts. These were both very good but I would definitely try other appetizers on the menu such as the scallops and the burrata. 8/10 for the starters.Overall, this is very much a neighborhood restaurant with cute local vibes located in Presidio Heights. The food and the wine are delicious and I would highly recommend this place!
